Re: 50Mb areas

By drops, how low does it drop to? I think in another of your posts you said around 20mb speeds?

In honesty if I get just that I'll be happy. It'll be better than my 20mb-but-normally-5mb-after-being-traffic-managed connection at present.

Re: 50Mb areas
I am in Swindon and got 50MB today, seems good so far, testing at a pretty consistent 49MB. My 20MB was awful, in peak times I would only get 5 to 10. Engineer said we the 2nd one in town, so hopefully it will stay uncongested for a while!
